    There ARE other ways of being in the world that do not turn life into a never-ending cage match with each other, literally and figuratively.

    The only thing holding you back from finding far healthier ways of existence, as human beings, is your fear of each other.

    It's the fear of other men that keep you slogging along in that dominance game where you make each other miserable daily.

    You victimize each other.

    Break the cycle. Refuse to embrace what's essentially a toxic death match.

    And really, that's what standard issue masculinity IS.

    You're trained into mutually fearing each other and victimizing each other in order to support a social system that props up a few guys at the very top.

    Masculinity, as it is widely defined, is a sucker's game made for the benefit of the few.

    And it makes the world a mess to live in. Not only for boys/men but also for the rest of us. You target us as collateral targets in your dominance obsessed misery.

    @timberwraith Agreed!

    I refused to grow up to be like my father, worked so hard he died young.

    Ego can do so much damage to everyone around my parents, especially me, as I did not satisfy their expectations. Their never-ending attitude of dominance over me never ceased until they left this world. I was never allowed to be myself while they were alive.

    I loathe egos, mom and dad both had it. I could never satisfy them. My whole self squashed because I was embarrassing to them.
    Good riddance.
